The crowd’s overwhelmingly skeptical reaction to that comment then filled the hall where the debate was held.

Clinton has been dogged throughout her campaign by issues relating to her honesty.

Chief among those issues has been her private email server. Although she said she never sent classified information, the FBI refuted that claim, and noted multiple other inconsistencies between what Clinton told the American public and the truth.

Further, families of the Americans killed in the Benghazi attacks in 2012 have said that Clinton lied to them about what happened.

A recent Fox News poll showed that only 34 percent of those responding believed Clinton is honest and trustworthy, while 64 percent of those responding disagreed.

In a recent column in The Washington Post, Marc A. Thiessen examined Clinton’s record and voters’ perceptions of her, noting that “the American people … have been burned, time and again, by Hillary Clinton’s dreadful lies.”

“A recent NBC News poll found that just 11 percent of Americans say Clinton is honest and trustworthy. To put that in perspective, 14 percent of American voters believe in Bigfoot,” he wrote.

“In other words, more Americans believe that a large, hairy, hominoid creature inhabits the forest of North America than believe that Hillary Clinton tells the truth,” Thiessen said.

“So if Clinton wonders why so many believe she is lying about her health, it is because she has lied so many times, about so many things, that most Americans no longer believe a word she says — even if she’s telling the truth,” he added.
